On the New Hope battlefield was a
tree upon which the soldiers nailed the
inscription Tree of Death" Several
Federals were killed behind the tree by
Confederate sharpshooters. The tree
was in advance of the Federal line, and
was about 300 yards from the Confed-
crate works. 1t was used by Federal
skirmishers, who would stand behind it
and load and then step u and fire.
Confederate sharpshooters went along
the Confederate line for nearly a mile in
each direction, and her being so far
from the side of the tree that they could
see behind it, by a cross firing made il
as dangerous to stand behind the tree as
to stand in front of it. Seven Federals
were killed behind the tree, and it came
to be known as the Tree of Death. =

the savages. Then. one morning Just at
daylight, Grim Walker came into Fort
Mcpherson for his mules. He was going
to move his iron cage to a new ficl !. He
replenished his provisions and inside of
two hours was OF again, having spoken
less than fifty words during his stay. 1t
seemed as if he had grown taller. fiercer
more grim and ~revengeful. There was
something pitiful in knowing that he
alone had survived the massacre; some
thing appalling in the knowledge that he
had become a Nemesis whom nothing but
blood would satisfy.
The wagon was moved north to the
headwater of the Saline Fork. One who
has been over the route will wonder how
it could have been do1e. 1t was attacked
there one forenoon about 10 O'Clock by a
band of thirty warriors, who had been
raiding on the Solomon's river. The
mules were staked out, and Grim Walker
sat at his camp fire. The warriors
charged up on horseback, believing they
had a hunters or surveyors outfit, and
while they stampedcd and secured the
mules, four of them were killed from the
loopholes of the cage. They came back
again. and another was killed and
two were wounded. Then they dis
covered what set of an enemy
they had to deal with and with
drew. Grim Walker and his wagon re-
manned there for a month. When the
Indians would no longer come to him he
set out in search of them, and he became
a veritable terror. Twenty different war
,i1,. ,y1,,,, ;,t,.-t,,x,1 I,tvxA,,, 1 GEt
and 1861 told me that Walker was more
feared than a hundred Indian fighters.
He killed everything he came to that was
Indian, including squaws, ponies, chill
dren. and dogs. No camp felt safe from
him. He had the f%erocity of a hungry
tiger and the cunning of a serpent. He
used his iron wagon as a headquarters.
and made raids for fifty miles around,
During the summer u COu saw
Walker OF his wagon once a fortnight,
He was last seen alive on Sept. .. on tn,
Republican river. when he had a fresl
Indian scalp at his belt. He had thei
blown up his wagon with gunpowder anC
abandoned it. although he did not state
the fact. His hair and beard had be
come long and unkempt. his clothing
was III rags anu tlele Coulu oc io uouo
that he had gone mad. On the 18th o
the month, as | rode with an escort o
soldiers south Cf where he was seen OF
the 2d. and fifty miles from the spot, w
found him dead. He lay on a bare knoll
on the broad of his back, with his arm
folded over his breast and his rifle by hi
side. His eyes were wide open, as i
looking at the buzzards sailing abov
him, and we soon satisfied ourselves tina
he had died from natural causes H
had a dozen scars and wounds. but diseas
had overpowered him, or his work ha'
been done. He had eXacted a full meas
ure of vengeance. Better for the Indian
had they let his immigrant party pass o.
in peace, for he had brought mournin.

TWO LOVES.

The woman he loved, while he dreamed Of her,
Danced on till the stars grew dim;
But alone with her heart, from the world apart,
Sat the woman who loved him.
The woman he worshiped only smiled
When he poured out his passionate love,
While the other somewhere kissed her treasure
most rare
A book he had touched with his glove.
The woman he loved betrayed his trust,
And he wore the scars thro' life;
And he cared not, nor knew, that the other was
true,
But no man called her wife.
The woman he loved trod festal halls
While they sang his funeral hymn;
But the sad bells tolled ere the year was old
Ger the woman who loved him.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.
